South Carolina is a MASH unit in the secondary
No we aren't.
Where are you aggies getting info on the USC secondary?

1. Keys to the game/key matchups
USC's dline/linebackers vs aTm's oline.
USC will want to get pressure on Kenny Hill early and will probably have to bring linebackers to do so. Getting pressure on the QB will help the secondary out.
quote:
2. How South Carolina can win
Ball control. Running Mike Davis behind our mammoth oline against aTm's bad defense. Using play action to go deep after aTm starts stacking the box
quote:
3. How A&M can win
If aTm's defense can force turnovers and convert on those opportunities.
quote:
4. Result and margin prediction
52-28 USC wins

Blitzing is the worst thing you can do against an Air Raid offense.
You want to be able to get pressure and stop the run with your front 4 and sit back in coverage, making the offense slowly work down the field and waiting for a mistake. The ball comes out too quick for blitzing to be regularly worth it, and it forces corners and safeties to make one on one tackles against better athletes to prevent huge gains.
The only teams that have had defensive success against A&M are the ones who did the above (LSU and Florida notably). Auburn tried and it worked out in the end when their deep D-line wore us out.
Teams that have tried to blitz us (Bama, Arkansas, MSU, Ole Miss this year, etc.) have gotten torched.

MASH was a poor term given it implies injuries and throwing together a bunch of scrubs/walk-ons, but the cornerback position is a weakness we will try and exploit.
Your #1 corner is a safety who switched positions for the first few games due to inexperience and the #2 guy is a true freshman. Behind them, there is exactly one player with SEC game experience.
